The Gospel in a Gilded Ride

  They drive in chariots trimmed in gold, Polished wheels on sacred roads, The engines purring 'holy tunes', While prayers rise under broken moons. "Give!" they cry, with hands outstretched, "Plant a good seed and you'll be blessed!" Look! The faithful kneel on battered floors, While they ascend and taxi through the clouds. The big cars they ride, a gospel ride, Fueled by tithes from the countryside. Look! With every sermon, and every shout, A widow’s coin is counted out. Their robes are always white, and their words rehearsed, But truth, within, is slyly cursed. They preach of wealth and Heaven's gates, Yet guard their own with armored plates. They fly on wings of stolen prayers, While saints below breathe dusty airs. Their jets proclaim, “The Lord provides!” But never for the ones who cry. The church, a showroom now for grace, Where poor men kneel, but lose the race. They buy the cars that prophets praise, While barefoot souls just hope and pray. A...

I was a Bin once

  I was a bin once - humble, holding, here. The world poured itself into me. Apple cores, paper dreams, love notes torn in haste. Secrets sealed in wrappers. The laughter of children crumbed and tossed. I took it all - without question, without pride, without shame. I was the end of many beginnings. Some saw me and turned away - wrinkled noses, quickened steps. But a few placed things gently, as if I mattered. As if the act of discarding could be kind. Then came the day they said I was full. Too stained. Too old. Too used. They replaced me with something shinier, sleeker, silent. I sat in the back alley, forgotten. Rain softened my rust, and still, I waited. Not for trash - but for purpose. For someone to see the worth in what once held the weight of the world. I was once a bin. And I still ache to be useful again.

YET HE OPENED NOT HIS LIPS

When I was a boy,  I used to wonder why my father came home late some nights , He was very quiet, very heavy, sometimes in spirits, distant. No smile. No stories. Just silence…  And the sound of weary footsteps faded down the hallway, to bed. I could hear some whispers of hope from mommy saying, " All shall be well my son, go for it" Something needed to be done,  Whether immediately, or progressively, Diplomacy just failed, there was a reality that couldn't be solved by diplomats, Hard work was mandatory... Back then, I thought he was just tired, That he prioritized sleep rather than meals, But now I know better -  He was fighting battles too heavy to name. He was broke… but couldn’t cry. He was sick… but couldn’t stop. He was overwhelmed… but couldn’t show it. Because men - fathers - don’t get the luxury of falling apart. The world is brutal to men. You either produce or perish. No break. No mercy. No soft landing - just relentless expectations: Provide. Protect. Le...

SEVEN TYPES OF PEOPLE TO AVOID

Courtesy of KTF Watch out for Wheelbarrow people - They make you do all the work alone. You load them up and push them far, But they’ll never care who you are. The Mosquito people come with smiles, But only stay a little while. They take what’s good, leave hurt behind, And spread bad thoughts in your mind. Scaffolding people help at first, Then want to lead you at your worst. They try to keep you under their wing, And stop you from doing your own thing. The Crocodile people lie and spy, Pretending they care, but that’s a lie. They learn your secrets, then attack, And stab you hard behind your back. Chameleon people act like friends, But envy you and pretend. They want to see your dreams fall through, And never cheer for things you do. Naysayer people bring only doubt, They tell you why things won’t work out. They never see the good you try, And make you feel too weak to fly. And last, the Garbage Pushers come, With gossip, sadness, dirt, and gloom. They spread bad news wher...

APOLOGIES

  I’m sorry For all the pain I caused you,  You deserved much better than me… Every joy and peace in the world,  But I failed to be the one you need…  I’m sorry  For the harsh words I spoke to you,  I should’ve expressed love I should’ve sung sweet melodies.  I’m sorry,  For the absence I showed you,  Through tough times I left you alone,  Be careless with your feelings Stay blind to your wounds.  I’m sorry,  For the burden I put on you,  I should’ve let you go Should’ve heeded my intuition Everything it warned, was always true.  I’m sorry,  For being too rude to you,  For making you a workaholic And wanting things to get done on time, Leading you to a depressed life.  I’m sorry,  For being too mood-less and rendering you an enemy of the people,  For isolating you from the ones who care And pushing you to the edge of despair.  I’m sorry,  But good things take a sacrifice,  I hav...

THE LOVE OF YOU

When the love in you finds Better path through you The morale of white humanity fades Violet humanity invades Your privacy The devil finds stool in you Sits and let’s stool in you Bitter smell finds ‘radar’ in you And in grief, the stomach in you Starts grumbling with the kids in you Your privacy Lightning is formed And thunder impulse to your Brain Then the gobshite in you reigns And what you’ll see is walking trash And you’ll utter trash The love of you...

OWNER OF MY COMPANY

Once my friend told me That he has poorer friends To assist, rather than me This was sadly true But unbearable for my sore heart. But lovely now for me to tell others The beautiful liars in the world That flower wither, and waves roll To heal their sore hearts. But lovely for me to tell others The handsome greed in the world That also fake gold attracts the wise But can’t drive determined souls To slow your vigor heart. Once my friend told me Mum and Dad remain true world friends God the ruler.

HER PRODIGY GONE

  That 14th February, warm valentine day I remember Meeting you in Finland club, rain dancing I remember approaching you paralyzed by  terror But now your prodigy is gone, gone And forever gone I remember the clouds coming down,  showering rain unto us As rain our love multiplied one by one The mushroom of love grew day by day So sweet love was. But now I glide along your eternal house Now bitter tears roll down my cheek You’ve gone. Well losing you is like losing my  blood I wish the clouds lament for me I will still remember...

Whispers of Quirks

Run from the folks that claim they're not hungry, Y et eye your plate like the famished hawks, Eating your meal mysteriously, T heir appetite is a secret paradox. You'll always find them in conversations, dissecting lives, Gossip flows from below their mouths, like a hidden stream, The chances are that, behind your back, They weave similar tales, that will haunt your dream. When around the beauty's flame, they'll always transform, Hypocrites pretending to be better than others, Chameleons in the presence of allure, They shift attitude and bend behavior, as if love's gravity pulls them pure. "That's too much," they say, pointing fingers here and there, Always complaining like rain on a sunny day, Flee from their negativity, my friend, Ditch them - 'Murifee...' Anyone with a rich pockets, is their true companion, With over-friendly smiles, and pockets squeezed, But genuine warmth? A welcoming heart? Thou shalt wait ... "Drink, smoke, try dr...

Longing For You

  Let me sing you a love song About what I feel in my heart; Butterflies lose their way to nectar Whenever we're apart. You're the one who makes my heart flutter Every single moment I think of you; You're one in a million, my most special one; Your radiant smile is as bright as the sun. You're smart and caring and have many great charms, And my heart sings with joy every time I'm in your arms; I'm happy you chose me from all of the rest, And I'm proud 'cause I know that I got the best. When you're away from me I long for you... In my thoughts, In the center of my soul. I yearn to see The affection in your eyes... I crave the safe warmth Of your arms around me... My cave of comfort, ease and peace. My body aches with hunger for you... I long for you, I yearn for you, I ache for you... Daddy  I'm missing you so much

Words And Truth

Words are like keys that can open any door But choose them wisely, or you'll end up on the floor Silence is the best answer to someone who doesn't value your words They're not worth your energy, let them fly away like birds When you build in silence, you keep your enemies at bay They can't attack what they can't see, so work hard every day The quieter you become, the more you can hear Listen to your intuition, it will guide you clear Do it alone, do it broke, do it tired, do it scared Just do it, don't give up, you'll be glad you dared One day, those who doubt you will sing your praise But don't let them fool you, they're just a passing phase Don't get burned twice by the same old flame Learn from your mistakes, or you'll have yourself to blame Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass It's about learning to dance in the rain, and having a blast If you only walk on sunny days, you'll never reach your goal You have to face the...

The Promised Land

Heart to heart, Slowly rea He missed the boat that sailed away To the promised land of hope and joy He longed to see that distant shore Where he could live his dreams and more He did not listen to his friends Who urged him to stay and learn He thought he knew the way to go He had a compass and a plan He jumped the wall and dove into the sea He swam with all his strength and will He did not fear the waves or sharks He did not mind the cold or dark He said to himself, "I have to get there" He did not ask for help or guidance He did not trust in God's good plan He did not seek His face or hand He swam for hours, but made no progress He grew more weary, but saw no land He felt his life was slipping away He wished he had another way Meanwhile, his school had noticed his absence They searched for him with care and love They found him floating in the sea They rescued him with grace and mercy They brought him back to safety and health They taught him of God's love and truth T...

Under His Arms

Like the little chicks under a Hen's arms Our God shelters us from all alarms Our God knows our needs before we ask Our God gives us strength for every task He is the Lord of all creation He rules with love and not with coercion He guides us by His perfect will He leads us to the green pastures still Our God is our refuge and our fortress Our God protects us from the evil forces Our God covers us with His feathers Our God binds our wounds and makes us better He is the source of every blessing He fills our hearts with joy and peace He is faithful to His promises He never changes, He never ceases He is our God and we are His people He calls us by name and makes us His temple He is with us always, even to the end He is our Father, our Savior, our Friend Show me your ways, O LORD; teach me your paths.

MATCHING TO LIFE

Heart to heart, Slowly read. As we look at the sad picture of life,  We see the sad breaking of people, Where humans, once full of life, Become unknown after being used up by the relentless  march of time. A tragic dance unfolds as one’s reputation, meticulously   built, Succumbs to the eroding hands of forgetfulness.   In this sad truth, a friend once lived, A tireless artisan in the realm of education. He was at the school from morning till night, A quiet builder trying to make the place better.  But his giving ups, like quiet sounds in the air, Were not heard, nor seen by those he wanted to help.   A beautiful soul, Joy was his appellation, Adorned the stage of existence. A workmate, a beacon of morality, and a friend to all, He left traces of smiles wherever his footsteps echoed.  Little did he fathom that his smiles, radiant as they were, Would be overshadowed by the ephemeral nature of  app...

WITH WISE HUMANITY, LEAD

Heart to heart, Slowly read. Being a follower means depending on the opinions of your leader, Being a leader means thinking for yourself. However, did you know that a leader’s thoughts can be misleading? Regardless of how charming and well-spoken their speeches are, When oil spills on the ground, the followers all fall?   It is sage to rely on your own judgment And not allow uncertainty to skew your thinking. Allow humanity to remain hidden in your heart, And only think morally and speak divinely. Behave and think as one who is trying to find peace.     Wealth can be tempting at times, But my dear acquaintances, put humanity first.   People will respect you for it as a leader, And our all-loving Father God will reward you.   Exploiting the poor leads to a curse that lasts for generations. However, helping the underprivileged brings blessings. Because nobody knows why nature created the social classes; Only God does. ...

CHRONICLES OF AGING

Heart to heart, Slowly read. A time will come when we are old and gray, A chip off the old block, they’ll call us someday. They’ll say we’re wise, a flattering name, But wisdom and age don’t always mean the same.   We’ll sit on rocking chairs, our bodies at ease, We’ll tell our grandkids stories, their curiosity to please. We’ll pour our wisdom to the village, our legacy to share, But all will depend on one simple fact: what we have left to spare.   They say, ‘enjoy your youth, cry at old age,’ But youth can be a trap, a reckless stage. If we spoil ourselves with pleasures, we’ll end up with a crowd, Too many mouths to feed, too many cries too loud.   But if we tend our fields with care, and water them with love, We’ll reap a bountiful harvest, a blessing from above. We’ll have enough to live on, and enough to give away, We’ll bless our old age with joy, and not with dismay.   When it comes to our brains, we should sharpen t...
